Study in Contrasts. Wherever they come from, all the girls would get a high Kublai Khan rating. Oddly enough, perhaps the easiest of all recruiting jobs involved the 20-carat stars. Early last spring Rodgers saw Pat Suzuki on Jack Paar's television show and recognized her right away as his stripper, Linda Low. After Miyoshi's Oscar-winning performance in the movie Sayonara, both Rodgers and Hammerstein realized that Mei Li's lines had been written for no one else...

All but the most obtuse are ready to admit that throwing out the imperialists was the easiest part of their job, and concede that they have just about run out of ideas for combatting Asia's measureless poverty, unemployment, illiteracy, disease and administrative chaos...
